Agreed… do you think bona will stay another year? If he leaves, and Mara becomes the starter, he has a lot of improvement to make besides weight. His lack of speed makes him a massive liability on a defense first team don’t you think?

I have no idea what Bona will do. I think it’s got to be difficult to hand out offers for slots that may not be available. To have 7 new players in one year is not a usual occurrence. Certainly, it’s better to have them spaced out a bit, but players stayed that could have left. We have 4 kids trying to adapt to the American style of play, half a world away from home, a new culture and a new university. Then, our fans wonder why they’re not as good as advertised. They’re 18 & 19 years old. As far as Mara, he has a ton of work to do physically. I’ve also seen him get winded quickly. He does have a nice skill set. But, if you’re thin, you’d better be quick, like Chet Holmgren. We will see how badly he wants to play in the NBA. He certainly has the option of returning to Europe as do the others. And get paid. The offseason could be interesting.
